Darjeeling Tea
TEAME Darjeeling — a cup of perfection to lift off into a new day. How does the 'champagne of teas' get its legendary delicate, muscatel flavour? From misty Himalayan first-flush estates and 80+ years of sourcing.
How does Darjeeling compare to Assam? Darjeeling is lighter, floral and muscatel — best enjoyed neat — while Assam is bold and malty for chai. Darjeeling's aroma alone quietly lifts your mood.
Benefits: rich in anti-inflammatory polyphenols that support heart health, with a uniquely uplifting character. Best brewed light, without milk.

What is TEAME Darjeeling Tea?
It is a delicate black tea from Darjeeling, often called the 'champagne of teas' — light, floral and aromatic. Available in 25 and 100 tea bags. TEAME is part of Madhu Jayanti International, a tea house with 80+ years of sourcing experience, and all TEAME teas are 100% natural with no added sugar or artificial flavours.
How should I brew Darjeeling?
Use freshly boiled water and steep 3–4 minutes. Darjeeling is best enjoyed on its own, without milk, to appreciate its delicate character.
Should I add milk?
Generally no. Darjeeling's light, floral notes are best enjoyed neat; milk tends to mask them.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes. As a caffeinated tea it contains natural caffeine, lighter than coffee. It is best enjoyed in the morning or afternoon rather than late at night.
What does it taste like?
Light, floral and muscatel, with a refined, aromatic finish.
How does it differ from Assam?
Darjeeling is lighter and floral for sipping neat; Assam is bold and malty, ideal with milk for chai.
Does it contain added sugar?
No. It contains no added sugar and no artificial flavours or preservatives. Any sweetness comes from the natural ingredients, and you can add your own honey or sweetener to taste.
When is the best time to drink it?
A gentle afternoon cup is classic, though it is enjoyable any time of day.
How should I store it?
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, light, moisture and strong odours. Once opened, keep it airtight and use within a few months for the best flavour and aroma.
